What you need to know about Water Pumps

Water Pumps are used to pump water out of flooded cellars & gardens, for draining swimming pools & ponds, & for providing water intake from a standing water source for pressure washers & garden hoses. You have a choice between purchasing either a Submersible Water Pump or a Surface Water Pump. Surface Water Pumps contain an intake hose for siphoning water from a standing water source, allowing them to be operated at some distance from the water itself. Submersible Water Pumps, on the other hand, are immersed in the water during use. Generally they are equipped with an automatic cut out switch, meaning that they can be left to operate unattended, whereas most Surface Water Pumps are manually controlled. Water Pumps are connected to Hoses using either Teflon/PTFE Tape or Hose or Jubilee Clips
